Matthew 20
1 "For the Kingdom of the Heavens is like an employer who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard,
Setshwantsho sengwe ke se se se tshwantshang Bogosi jwa Legodimo. “Mong wa tshimo o kile a phakela go ya go thapela tshimo ya gagwe ya thobo badiri.
2 and having made an agreement with them for a shilling a day, sent them into his vineyard.
A dumalana go ba duela madi a tuelo ya letsatsi, hong a ba laela go ya go dira.
3 About nine o'clock he went out and saw others loitering in the market-place.
“Morago ga dioura di se kae, o na a feta fa ntlong e go thapelwang batho teng mme a bona banna bangwe ba eme foo ba batla tiro,
4 To these also he said, "'You also, go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.'
jalo le bone a ba romela mo masimong a gagwe, a ba bolelela gore o tlaa ba duela fela se se ba tshwanetseng fa letsatsi le phirima.
5 "So they went. Again about twelve, and about three o'clock, he went out and did the same.
Mo motshegareng wa sethoboloko, le mo tshokologong e ka nna nako ya boraro a nna a tswelela ka go thapa badiri.
6 And going out about five o'clock he found others loitering, and he asked them, "'Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'
“Ka nako ya botlhano mo go one maitseboa ao, a ya kwa motseng gape, mme a bona banna ba bangwe gape ba eme teng foo mme a ba botsa a re, ‘Ke eng fa lo ntse fela lo sa dire sepe letsatsi lotlhe?’
7 "'Because no one has hired us,' they replied. "'You also, go into the vineyard,' he said.
Ba araba ba re, ‘Ke ka gore ga go ope yo o re thapileng’. Hong a ba raya a re, ‘tsamayang lo ye go tlatsa ba bangwe mo masimong a me.’
8 "When evening came, the master said to his steward, "'Call the men and pay them their wages. Begin with the last set and finish with the first.'
“Mo maitseboeng ao a raya radituelo wa gagwe a re a bitse banna bao a ba duele, a simolola pele ka banna ba bofelo.
9 "When those came who had begun at five o'clock, they received a shilling apiece;
E rile fa banna ba ba thapilweng ka nako ya botlhano ba duelwa mongwe le mongwe wa bone o na a amogela madi a tuelo ya letsatsi.
10 and when the first came, they expected to get more, but they also each got the shilling.
E rile fa banna ba ba thapilweng pele ba tla go tsaya a bone, ba ne ba ithaya ba re ba tlaa amogela go feta foo thata. Le bone ba ne ba duelwa madi a lekanang le a ba bangwe.
11 So when they had received it, they grumbled against the employer, saying,
“Ba ngongorega ba re, ‘Batho bale ba dirile lobaka lwa oura fela, le fa go ntse jalo a oba duetse jaaka rona ba re dirileng letsatsi lotlhe mo mogoteng o o fisang’.
12 "'These who came last have done only one hour's work, and you have put them on a level with us who have worked the whole day and have borne the scorching heat.'
13 "'My friend,' he answered to one of them, 'I am doing you no injustice. Did you not agree with me for a shilling?
“Mme a araba mongwe wa bone aa re ‘Tsala, ga ke a go fosetsa ka gope! A o ne o sa dumalana go dira o duelwa tuelo ya letsatsi?
14 Take your money and go. I choose to give this last comer just as much as I give you.
A tseye o tsamaye. Ke keletso ya me go lo duela ka go lekana;
15 Have I not a right to do what I choose with my own property? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
a go kgatlhanong le molao go ntsha madi a me fa ke batla go dira jalo? A o tshwanetse go kgotswa ka go bo ke le kutlwelobotlhoko?’
16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last."
Mme fela jalo, ba morago e tlaa nna ba ntlha, ba ntlha e tlaa nna ba morago.”
17 Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem, and He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them,
Mme ya re Jesu a le mo tseleng a ya Jerusalema, a tseela barutwa ba ba lesome le bobedi kwa thoko,
18 "We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death,
mme a bua nabo ka ga se se tlaa mo diragalelang fa ba goroga. “Ke tlaa neelwa baperesiti ba bagolo le baeteledipele ba Sejuda ba bangwe, mme ba tlaa nkatlholela loso.
19 and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."
Me ba tlaa ntsenya mo diatleng tsa mmuso wa Roma, ke tlaa sotlwa ke bapolwa, mme e tlaa re mo letsatsing la boraro ke rule.”
20 Then the mother of the sons of Zabdi came to Him with her sons, and knelt before Him to make a request of Him.
Hong mmaagwe Jakobe le Johane bomorwa Sebede, a ba lere kwa go Jesu, a obama, a kopa thuso.
21 "What is it you desire?" He asked. "Command," she replied, "that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your Kingdom."
Jesu a mmotsa a re “O batla ke go direlang?” Mme a fetola a re, “Mo Bogosing jwa gago, a o tlaa letla bomorwaake ba babedi go nna mo ditilong tse pedi go bapa le sa gago, yo mongwe ka fa letsogong la gago le legolo yo mongwe ka fa go la molema?”
22 "None of you know what you are asking for," said Jesus; "can you drink out of the cup from which I am about to drink?" "We can," they replied.
Mme Jesu a mo fetola a re, “Ga o itse se o se lopang!” Mme a retologela kwa go Jakobe le Johane a ba botsa a re, “A lo nonofile go nwa mo senwelong se se boitshegang se ke tlaa tlogang kee nwa mo go sone?” Jalo ba fetola ba re, “Ee, re nonofile.”
23 "You shall drink out of my cup," He said, "but a seat at my right hand or at my left it is not for me to allot, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."
Mme a ba fetola a re, “Lo tlaa nwa mo go sone ruri. Mme ga ke na thata go bua gore ke mang yo o tlaa nnang mo ditilong go bapa le same. Maemo ao a beetswe batho ba Rre a ba tlhophang”.
24 The other ten heard of this, and their indignation was aroused against the two brothers.
Barutwa ba bangwe ba ba lesome ba ne ba gakala fa ba utlwa ka go se Jakobe le Johane ba se lopileng.
25 But Jesus called them to Him, and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.
Mme Jesu a ba bitsa botlhe a ba raya a re, “Mo baheitaneng, dikgosi ke batho ba ba bogoma, mme le bagolwane ba ba ka fa tlase ga tsone, ba dipisa ba ba ka fa tlase ga bone.
26 Not so shall it be among you; but whoever desires to be great among you shall be your servant,
Mme mo go lona go pharologanyo. Le fa e le mang mo go lona yo o batlang go nna moeteledipele, o tshwanetse go nna motlhanka wa lona.
27 and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your bondservant;
Mme fa o batla go nna kwa godimodimo, o tshwanetse go dira jaaka lekgoba.
28 just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as the redemption-price for many."
Mokgwa wa lona o tshwanetse go nna jaaka wa me, gonne nna Morwa Motho, ga ke a tlela go direlwa, fa e se go direla, le go ntshetsa ba le bantsi botshelo jwa me go nna thekololo.”
29 As they were leaving Jericho, an immense crowd following Him,
E rile Jesu le barutwa ba tswa mo motseng wa Jeriko, bontsintsi jwa batho jo bogolo jwa ba sala morago.
30 two blind men sitting by the roadside heard that it was Jesus who was passing by, and cried aloud, "Sir, Son of David, pity us."
Banna ba le babedi ba difofu ba ne ba ntse fa thoko ga tsela mme e rile fa ba utlwa gore Jesu o e tla ba simolola go goa ba re, “Morena, Morwa Dafide, re utlwele botlhoko!”
31 The people angrily tried to silence them, but they cried all the louder. "O Sir, Son of David, pity us," they said.
Bontsintsi jwa batho jwa ba raya jwa re ba didimale, mme ba goela godimo go gaisa pele.
32 So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do for you?" He asked.
E rile a tla fa difofu di neng di le teng a ema mo tseleng a botsa a re, “Lo batla ke lo direlang?” Mme ba fetola ba re, “Morena re batla go bona!”
33 "Sir, let our eyes be opened," they replied.
34 Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.
Jesu a ba utlwela botlhoko a ama matlho a bone. Mme ya re gone fela foo ba foufologa, ba mo sala morago.
